Nixon hung in space, turning slowly.
For one mad moment, I entertained the notion that James White had
foretold the cosmic punishment of President Richard M. Nixon.
The line "Nixon was suffering -- terribly" raised my moralistic
hopes still further. But this particular is Ben Nixon, the
nerdish brother of genius-level scientist Dr Charles L. Ben
has stolen the Doc's foolproof indestructability device, with consequences
that can rightfully be called infernal. The biter is well
and truly bitten; over and over and over again. A warning to the
curious: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
